turn, spin, or take a detour

돌다 is turning or going around, and the adverb sets the shape of the turn: 크게 돌면 되지 않을까요? "can't we just take the long way round?", 조금만 더 넓게 돌게요 "let's swing a bit wider", 굉장히 빠르게 돌아서 "spinning very fast". It covers a dancer's turn — 예쁘게 돌았어 "that was a graceful spin" — as easily as a driving detour. 돌리다 is the transitive partner: turning something else.
